Please
do not show sympathy to people selling buds on roadside or at Signals.
Just wanted to warn you people not to buy those packs of ear-buds you
get at the roadside.

It's made from cotton that has already
been used in hospitals.. They take all the dirty, blood- and pus-filled
cotton, wash it, bleach it and use it to make ear buds. So, unless you
want to become the first person in the world to get Herpes Zoster Oticus
(a viral infection of the inner, middle, and external ear) of the ear
and that too from a cotton bud, DON'T BUY THEM!!

Nigeria will experience a partial solar eclipse on Sunday
the 3rd of November; an astronomical event that will have the earth
thrown into temporal or partial darkness as the moon blocks the sun’s
rays from reaching the earth.

Briefing journalists on what Nigerians should expect, the Director
General of the Nigeria Space Research And Development Agency (NASDRA),
Dr Sa’idu Mohammed said the eclipse will come in three phases; a partial
eclipse at about 1.00 pm when the moon will touch the edge of the sun,
the maximum eclipse shortly before 3.00pm when the moon is expected to
be closest to the center and shortly after 4.00pm when the moon will
leave the sun’s edge.
He however stated that there is no cause for alarm and Nigerians should not panic.
As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes
between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocksthe
Sun.
This can happen only at new moon, when the Sun and the Moon are in
conjunction as seen fr…

TRIPOLI, Libya — A Libyan
security official says gunmen have stolen over $50 million after
attacking a van belonging to the country's Central Bank on a road along
the Mediterranean coast.
The official says the van, which had no
guards accompanying it, was ambushed near the city of Sirte late Monday.
The money was a mix of foreign currency and Libyan dinars. The official
spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak
to media.
In the eastern city of Benghazi, attackers opened fire on a five-men sit-in, killing two and wounding three.
The five were protesting the 2011 assassination of former army chief Abdel-Fatah Younis.
Younis
was Moammar Gadhafi's interior minister before defecting to the rebel
side to help command the uprising against Libya's longtime ruler.

DANVERS, Mass. (AP) -- A well-liked teacher was found slain in woods
behind this quiet Massachusetts town's high school, and a 14-year-old
boy who was found walking along a state highway overnight was charged
with killing her.
Blood found in a second-floor school bathroom helped lead
investigators to the body of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher
at Danvers High School who was reported missing when she didn't come
home from work on Tuesday, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett
said.
"She was a very, very respected, loved teacher," Blodgett said.
The suspect, Philip Chism, was arraigned on a murder charge Wednesday
and ordered held without bail. The teenager, described by classmates as
soft-spoken and pleasant, also did not come home from school the day
before and was spotted walking along Route 1 in the neighboring town of
Topsfield at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Officials didn't release a cause of death and haven't discussed a…

We brought you a report of a fire outbreak at the Warri Refinery on the 21st of Oct 2013, which resulted in no fewer than 9 people sustaining various degrees of injuries.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has come out to claim responsibility.
MEND in a statement signed by its
spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, said the attack on the oil facility was an
indication that ‘Hurricane Exodus’ was on course.
The statement read: “MEND takes responsibility for the sabotage this
morning, Tuesday, October 22, 2013, inside the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Refinery in Warri, Delta State of Nigeria.
‘Hurricane Exodus’ was intended to burn down the entire refining
facility.
“As long as President Goodluck Jonathan continues to rely on an
unsustainable and fraudulent Niger Delta amnesty programme, peace and
security will continue to elude his government in the region. ‘Hurricane
Exodus’ is on course!”
However, the management of NNPC, which confirmed that …

Oct 24 (Reuters) - Pirates have attacked an oil supply vessel off the
Nigerian coast and kidnapped the captain and chief engineer, both U.S.
citizens, security sources said on Thursday.

Pirate
attacks off Nigeria's coast have jumped by a third this year as ships
passing through West Africa's Gulf of Guinea, a major commodities
route, have increasingly come under threat from gangs wanting to snatch
cargoes and crews.

The U.S.-flagged,
C-Retriever, owned by U.S. marine transport group Edison Chouest
Offshore, was attacked in the early hours of Wednesday, UK-based
security firm AKE and two security sources said. The company was not
immediately available for comment.

In a separate
incident, three Nigerian soldiers were killed on Tuesday when armed
robbers attacked a vessel carrying construction workers in the creeks
of oil-producing Rivers state, the army said on Thursday.

Jean Houston, a teacher and philosopher, talks about how living
conditions over the past hundreds of thousands of years have affected
the development of the male and female brain in really different ways.
In essence, women spent the majority of their time living in
communities with other women and children. Men spent most of their time
either on their own or with small groups of other men, hunting and
gathering.
As a result, the female brain began to develop better ways to
emotionally connect with others and the Emotional Brain is now 25
percent larger in women than in men. This means that women can sense
very subtle changes in someone’s mood or emotions, and notice slight
differences in facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice.
This difference in brain structure accounts for a lot of differences in how men and women function, communicate, and relate.

It’s why women spend so much time thinking about relationships and
men spend so much time thinking about w…

As a therapist, I can devote much time and focus on examining my clients’ unhealthy relationships and patterns of relating.
It raises a great question: What does a healthy relationship look like? Whether it be with a romantic partner or a friend, a healthy relationship will have many of the same components.
In a healthy relationship, the identity of the individual parties
remains distinct. Individuality and being exactly who one is is valued
as an asset within the dyad. This creates a feeling of safety, because
the individuals are free to show up authentically in the relationship,
and can ask for what they want and need.

It’s also important to respect that the other person is an
imperfectly perfect human being, who sometimes makes mistakes.
Perfection is not expected, and when a boundary is crossed, the
individual says so, and the other responds respectfully.
Being in relation to others also means that we continue to grow as
individuals, and we do the work that is necess…

Nigerian students were yesterday assured by the Federal Government
that the protracted strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, would be over in a few months.
Minister of Education, Mr Nyesom Wike stated this at the anniversary lecture of National Universities Commission, NUC, in Abuja.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education,
Dr. Macjohn Nwaobiala, the minister reiterated the Federal Government’s
commitment to resolving the ongoing strike.
“The Federal Government is very concerned about the state of public
tertiary institutions in the country. The Federal Government is really
worried about the ongoing strike of ASUU and the strike would be
resolved in a few months,” Wike said.
In his paper presentation titled, ‘Turbulent and Testing Times for
Global Higher Education: Lessons for Nigeria’, Professor John Daniel
said “online teaching and learning is now part of the future of most
universities. Nigeria should be very good at this b…

Kanye has come out to reply his critics on why he brought a look-alike Jesus on stage.
In a radio interview, West said “I had a friend of mine that is a pastor and we were discussing how we
were going to deliver it. My girl even asked afterwards “isn’t that
weird if Jesus comes on stage or something like that?” No we do plays
all the time where people play Jesus. What’s awesome about Christianity
is that we are allowed to portray God. We’re allowed to draw an image of
Him. We’re allowed to make movies about Him. Other religions you can’t
do that. Michelangelo did it…It’s a painting, it’s a sculpture, it’s a
moving opera, it’s a play, it’s a message. I’m not even going to do any
comparisons with that. God knows where my heart is at.”
We hope he's able to draw the line between creativity and craziness?

According to new reports by Sahara Reporters, the car company that sold
the two BMW armored cars to NCAA, gave N112million to aviation minister
Stella Oduah as kickbacks. (Kickback is a form of negotiated bribery in which a commission is paid to the bribe-taker for services rendered)

Even as the minister of aviation began a new spin today that the BMW
armored cars purchased by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA)
for her use were done on "hire-purchase", SaharaReporters has unearthed
new details about the $1.6 million spent by the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority to purchase the armored BMW cars for Nigeria's Aviation
Minister Stella Oduah.
A highly reliable source has told SaharaReporters that the shady deal
for the car was done entirely between Coscharis Motors Limited, a
dealership from which the cars were purchased, one of Ms. Oduah’s
private firms based in Abuja, and First Bank of Nigeria.
“The NCAA was not even aware of the…

In her book Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life author
Dani Shapiro weaves together deeply personal stories from her past and
present with insights on the creative process and the trials and
triumphs of being a writer.
Shapiro is the author of several memoirs and novels, including: Devotion: A Memoir, Black & White, Slow Motion and Family History: A Novel.
Here are several insights and lessons from Still Writing,
which may bolster your own creative process, regardless of your tool of
choice, and whether this is your profession or pastime.

1. Learn to live with your inner critic.
It’s comforting to know that best-selling authors like Shapiro also
have an inner censor. Shapiro’s inner censor sounds a lot like mine (and
probably a lot like yours): “This is stupid.” “You really think you can
pull that off?” “So-and-so did it better.”
What’s helped Shapiro in quieting these critical thoughts is learning
to live with her inner censor, and treating her…
